Song Jushu looked at Song Jiaojiao who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, with scrutiny in his eyes.

Then she directly pointed out what Song Jiaojiao's family had done.

"You said you came to our Song family to work like a slave? Then what about your engagement with the girl from the Song Shan family? I, Song Jushu, would never do something like stealing someone else's husband, so you better take back those ignorant words you just said."

Song Jushu's tone was arrogant, majestic, and oppressive.

She stood gracefully beside the head of the village, with a scholarly air of integrity and uprightness.

"Okay, Song Huo, why don't you take your family away? If you make trouble again, I will write a letter of deportation and send your family to live outside the village."

The head of the village stared at Song Huo sinisterly, which made her scalp tingle. She had no choice but to leave with her father and the rest of her family in shame.

Song Jiaojiao lowered her head, with unwillingness and maliciousness in her eyes. Song Xin was short, so he could see all of Song Jiaojiao's expressions.

"Humph! A toad wants to eat swan flesh. You are such a person, and you still want to marry my elder sister. You are dreaming!"

Song Xin muttered quietly.

"Village Chief, I am sorry to bother you this time. Can you come to my house and sit for a while? I have something to discuss with you."

"That's no trouble, I'll be there in a minute."

"Then the junior will leave first."

"Go ahead!"

After watching Song Jushu leave, everyone was amazed!

"This scholar is different. Look, he speaks in a very elegant way."

"That's right! We don't understand either. Those scholars are just full of ink. No wonder they make money more easily than us."

Some people are envious, some people are sarcastic!

"Mom, you're back. Dad has just prepared the meal. Let's eat!"

There were some meat dishes today, but Song Jushu didn't move her chopsticks. She said in a light tone, "Bring another pair of chopsticks. I'll be there soon."

Song Jing immediately went into the house and added another pair of chopsticks.

Song Zhining looked curious, "Mom, what's the matter? Why did you call the head of the village?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Seeing her mother's warning look, Song Zhining sat dejectedly on the wooden chair. Since the head of the village didn't come, no one in the family picked up their chopsticks.

Soon, Song Xin led the head of the village into the village. The people in Luoshan Village were relatively simple and honest, and didn't have so many requirements.

But Pan Xiaofu still took a few brothers to the kitchen to eat, and Song Zhining brought Ma Taozhi's food to him.

"Aunt Song, I won't beat around the bush. The new emperor has been on the throne for two years and has been vigorously promoting development in all areas. I heard that villages in other counties have begun to build roads. What do you think?"

Song Jun's eyes rolled around. The new emperor changed the year of his accession to the throne to the first year of Ji Le, and now was the time to implement the policy.

"Look, I've only been educated for a few years, and my brain isn't as sharp as yours. How about you give me some advice?"

Song Jushu showed a calm smile.

"Each family will contribute 20 copper coins, and we will build a road to the market in the town. The road doesn't need to be too good, just say it echoes the call of Her Majesty the Queen. This will be beneficial to the development of our village and can also add some merits to aunt. What do you think?"

"Okay, that's great, Ju Shu! Not only do you have a sharp mind, but you also think about the development of our village. You are such a blessing to us villagers!"

The matter was settled. Her Majesty the Queen is now only in her twenties and in the prime of her life. Moreover, the imperial examinations will be held in the next few years or even decades.

So for Song Yu, Song Jushu couldn't sleep.

"Go to sleep! You have to go on duty again tomorrow. How can you not get enough rest?"

Song Jushu hugged Pan Xiaofu and stroked his back gently. It was so important to have a sensible husband at home.

Song Zhining followed her mother reluctantly. She looked back every few steps. Her little girl was really adored by her.

This time, when she returned to the blacksmith shop, many people stared at her, and Song Zhining frowned.

"What are you looking at?"

"Sister Song, they said that the widow next door is like you."

The woman clasped her hands.

Song Zhining:???

"What on earth do you want to say?"

"Alas! We heard a noise last night. The dog next door was barking loudly, and then we heard the ecstatic voice of the widower. When we went out this morning, the widower said he slept with you."

"What the hell? Slept with me? I went back to the village yesterday and only came back this morning."

"What……"

Xu Jinlian, who was standing at the door, felt like he was struck by lightning. He was drunk last night and couldn't see the man clearly, so he simply mistook him for Song Zhining.

Song Zhining saw him at the door and was too lazy to go look for him.

"I was in the village last night. The woman you slept with was not me. I am married. Don't spread rumors when you go out. My mother will skin me alive if she finds out."

She spoke to Xu Jinlian with a serious and warning look on her face.

"No... this is not true... I don't believe it..."

Xu Jinlian covered her face and ran away. The women around her looked bored. It turned out that it was not Miss Song! Okay, let's go!

Zhu Rourong was in high spirits. It took her some effort to sleep with the guy, which made her feel extremely accomplished. Besides, that slut tasted pretty good.

This incident did not affect Song Zhining's mood at all. She worked even harder. After all, studying would cost a lot of money. For Yu'er, she was full of energy.

After this incident, Xu Jinlian secretly looked at her every day, and the feeling and longing for her in her heart became stronger and stronger. Zhu Rourong gritted her teeth and hated her secretly.

A month later, the road was repaired in the village. The village head had the appeal and he would get things done as soon as he said it. In this era, no one in the village dared to go against the choice made by the village head. In the village, the village head was the biggest village official.

Now that Ma Taozhi has finished her confinement, he can also go back to work. The seeds in the field have sprouted, and he will help Song Yi weed and water the fields.

There was a cold wind in the air and light snow was falling from the sky. The severe winter was approaching and the end of the year was approaching.

Song Jing was cleaning the house with Song Yu on her back. The New Year was coming, and she had to clean every corner of the house.

Song Yu felt her calves going numb on his back. She had been tied up for a whole day and she couldn't stand it. But in order not to cause trouble for her brother, she had to endure it.

When Pan Xiaofu had time, he untied Song Jing from her back and then put her on the bed and teased her.

"Where's Xin'er?"

"He's out having fun."

"Go call him back. We'll paste the windows later."

"Okay, I'll call Brother Xin back right away."

Song Xin was playing hide-and-seek with the children in the village. When he heard his second brother calling him, he immediately and quietly left.

"What's wrong, second brother?"

"Grandpa told us to go home and paste the windows. Dad and my eldest sister went to the fields."

"Oh!"

Song Xin looked at his sister lying on the bed and felt extremely happy. He loved his sister the most, and even his second brother would rank behind her.

Pan Xiaofu used a wooden spatula to scoop out the sticky rice from the pot, then took the white paper that Song Zhining brought back and started to paste it.

Song Xin secretly scooped up a little bit of the paste. It tasted weird, but it was okay.

Song Yu:…………

Please don't put it in my mouth!
